Eddisons' history 5

The history of BTG Eddisons

The Eddisons name first appeared in 1851, when William Eddison set up as an auctioneer in Huddersfield. Following William's death in 1871, his son John succeeded to the business, forming a partnership with Thomas Taylor. In 1896, John Booth joined, and the firm became Eddison, Taylor and Booth.

The business can trace its roots back to 1844, when one of its founding firms, David Waterhouse & Nephew, was established in Bradford. The two firms merged to form Eddisons, Waterhouse & Co in 1967, and following a further merger with residential specialists CH Lord & Partners, the Eddisons name was adopted in 1972.

Eddisons was acquired by Begbies Traynor PLC in December 2014, and since then has maximised value for its clients by delivering practical and effective solutions. Through periods of economic growth and in times of recession, our people have helped clients overcome challenges large and small. Our focus is on delivering value over the long term, as it has been for over 180 years.

In February 2026, a company-wide rebrand saw Begbies Traynor Group become BTG, and Eddisons become BTG Eddisons. United under one umbrella, we now offer clients a wide range of services, from insolvency support to property sales and building consultancy. The name is new, but the mentality is not. The appetite to rethink how real estate works, to challenge convention, and to make positive change for clients has run through this business for almost two centuries. Today, we simply have a name for it: we are your real estate changemakers.

Our acquisitions

We do not acquire businesses to change who they are. We bring in firms that already share our changemaker mentality, often long before they had a name for it. Explore the businesses that have joined BTG Eddisons in recent years.
